Land Use Board | October 20, 2026

The Union County Land Use Board met on October 20, 2026, and approved the agenda and prior meeting minutes. The board considered text amendment TXT-2026-003, which would clarify that minor-subdivision eligibility is based on the tract as it existed on February 14, 1978, regardless of later divisions by road rights-of-way or other strips of land. A motion to recommend approval and adopt the consistency and reasonableness statement was made and seconded; the transcript does not clearly capture the vote outcome.

The board also considered TXT-2026-005, establishing minimum driveway distances from intersections on NCDOT roads based on posted speed limits; the requirements would apply to lots created after the amendment takes effect, not existing lots. The board voted to recommend approval and adopt the associated consistency and reasonableness statement. Members approved the 2027 Land Use Board meeting schedule. No procurement activity or spending decisions were identified.
